Bass: Dynaudio Confidence C2 vs Contour S5.4


I am cross-shopping the above speakers as an upgrade from my current C1. I prefer moving to full range speakers rather than trying to integrate a sub. Looking at the stated frequency ranges for the two speakers is interesting:

The Confidence is listed at 28Hz–25kHz and has two 6.5" drivers.

The Contour S5.4 is rated at 30Hz–27kHz and has two 8" woofers plus a 6" midrange.

Based on driver assortment it would seem that the 5.4s should have more slam and extension. Am I to believe that the C2s actually go deeper than 5.4s? The local dealer does not have both models in stock for a side by side.

Power will be via the new Bryston 4B SST squared. Again, I'm wanting to upgrade because I'm a closet basshead. The C1 is awesome in everything from the midbass up, but I can't help but feel like I'm missing something.

I guess another way of phrasing my question is: can the C2 really go down to its claimed 28Hz without significant rolloff? Any C2 owners able to corroborate the frequency ratings?

Thanks!
